Instructions: These sophisticated crab quesadillas need only six minutes of stove time. Citrus, green onions and Monterey Jack cheese provide delicate flavor; when teamed with a salad, the quesadillas make a light and lovely meal. Pour a dry Gewurztraminer, and finish with melon accented with fresh mint.

1 1/2 cups (packed) grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 6 ounces)

2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

8 ounces crabmeat, drained
1 cup chopped seeded plum tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeno chili WEAR GLOVES 8 7- to 8 inch flour tortillas

5 tablespoons (about) vegetable oil

Mix first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season cheese mixture to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

Mix crabmeat, tomatoes, green onions and chili in large bowl. Spread cheese mixture over half of each tortilla. Spoon crabmeat mixture atop cheese mixture, dividing equally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half. Press gently to seal.

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Working in batches, cook quesadillas in skillets until cheese melts and tortillas are golden brown, adding more oil as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve. Serves 4.
